Hi ho, MMMLOGerinos!

It's a national holiday here in the U.S., Labor Day. Though I suspect that most of us who aren't going to work today are still glued to the TV, hoping for better news for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The horrific images and heartbreaking stories we've seen and heard on the national news have helped to move many of us to action and personally try to help our people. We've sent money and practical items to the various relief agencies and we've sent our prayers.

We're celebrating Labor Day differently this year. And perhaps that will prove to be one of our finest hours as a nation.

Ciao, ciao, MMMMMMMMMMMmmelinda
